Question

Describe the main function that a mitochondria plays in animal and plant cells.

Answer 1

Im pretty sure that a plant would not need a mitochondria because it has chloroplast to make its food but for the human the mitochondria works to provide energy for the cell

Answer 2

how does the
organelles evolve into eukaryotic cells then?

Answer 3

well do u know what a eukaryotic vs prokaryotic

Answer 4

no he just said to look it up and its just getting me confused

Answer 5

ok well one sec ill tell you
I've havd those types of teacher 1 sec

Answer 6

prokaryotes lack a nucleus

Answer 7

as well as a cell membrane

Answer 8

evolve? do you know what a eukaryotic cell could be vs a prokaryotic cell is

Answer 9

What do u wanna know exactly?

Answer 10

do you want me to give you the actually question ?|

Answer 11

wait what grade r u in

Answer 12

he gave us just to look up

Answer 13

what grade r u in so I know if im studying the same thing as you??

Answer 14

Hello?

Answer 15

Hello?

Answer 16

sophomore

Answer 17

o im a freshman?????????

Answer 18

but i might be able to help you

Answer 19

wait so what is your question

Answer 20

okay do you want me to give you the full question

Answer 21

yes please

Answer 22

Describe the main function that a mitochondria pays in animal and plant cells. how did these organelles evolve into eukaryotic cells? what line of evidence we have to support that theory ?

Answer 23

well im pretty sure that again a plant wouldn't really need a mitochandria but let me check

Answer 24

because it has a chloroplast which helps it do photosynthesis

Answer 25

ok mitochondria in a plant cells purpose is to produce the energy currency of the cell and for human it is the "power house of the cell" and it works to provide energy for the cell

Answer 26

the plant cell is were I'm like confused

Answer 27

I guess it makes sense ok first do you know what the chloroplast is

Answer 28

hello?

Answer 29

sorry I'm doing other hw at the same time

Answer 30

Plant cell,mitochondria function:They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.

Answer 31

its ok

Answer 32

get it more now or still no?

Answer 33

so how we support that line of
theory

Answer 34

well judging for evolution it is not exactly a theory and scientist have most likely done test to see what are the effects of a plant with a mitochondria vs one with out one

Answer 35

Funny I just took a test on all this XD

Answer 36

we haven't even started the chapter and he wants to look it up

Answer 37

so i have no clue about his question

Answer 38

o ok

Answer 39

lol
you did good

Answer 40

thx XD

Answer 41

did you get it tho?

Answer 42

i gtg in like 15 min getting late
school starts 7:20

Answer 43

oh okay thanks =}

Answer 44

Hey if you need help in scince I can help you its my 2nd best class well 1st right now

Answer 45

wait what about the animal it just store energy right?

Answer 46

will do wow you smart then

Answer 47

o the animal cell are we still talking about mitochondria rite ?

Answer 48

yes correct

Answer 49

then yes it does carry the food

Answer 50

what function it plays in animal cell

Answer 51

one sec

Answer 52

what function mitochondria plays in animal cell

Answer 53

Ok sorry it carries the energy making the animal living

Answer 54

wait did you learn about what is living

Answer 55

hello brb i got to go to the bathroom

Answer 56

yes . volve into eukaryotic cells

Answer 57

how does it volve into eukaryotic cells

Answer 58

ok

Answer 59

ok back

Answer 60

how does what volve into eukaryotic cells

Answer 61

the animal cell i think is what its asking

Answer 62

volve? what do you mean by solve

Answer 63

i think what its asking is how does the animals invoke into a eukaryotic cells

Answer 64

Hello all!!

So what you need help on ayleen?
Should I start it from beginning?

Answer 65

yes please

Answer 66

hi

Answer 67

Ye, I see lots of confusion here, so It would be better if i start it over..

Answer 68

yes I'm vey confused

Answer 69

Ok, So first of all what is mitochondria?

It's basically a cellular organelle responsible for energy production in the forms of ATP. Both plants and animals have it and they need it. I agree that plants produce energy from sunlight but that is stored in the form of glucose. Plants still need mitochondria to convert that glucose into ATP when energy is needed....

Answer 70

Getting it?

Answer 71

isn't that what red blood cells do in our body?

Answer 72

what ADT?

Answer 73

besides the fact of carry oxygen to the lungs

Answer 74

ATP

Answer 75

i mean ATP

Answer 76

Red blood cell carries glucose in our body to different cells. It's mitochondria which takes up that glucose and breaks it into energy in the form of ATP

Answer 77

Red Blood cells get their energy from ATp from glucose rite?

Answer 78

ok got ya ;)

Answer 79

Ayleen, ATP = Adenosine triphosphate molecules. these are simply enrgy currency of our body.....If you are not sure about it just remember that ATP is equivalent to energy

Answer 80

So in nut shell Mitochondria is a cell organelle which is power house of the cell. It produces energy..

Answer 81

okay got that part

Answer 82

Ok, what's next?

Answer 83

we explained describing the main function Mitochondria plays in animal and plant cell

Answer 84

ow did these organelles evolve into eukaryotic cells? what line of evidence we have to support that theory ?

Answer 85

okay this is the question my teacher ask
Describe the main function that a mitochondria plays in animal and plant cells. how did these organelles evolve into eukaryotic cells? what line of evidence we have to support that theory ?

Answer 86

Good, so we just saw what is the role of Mitochondria. We know now that is is basically power house of a cell.

Now let's see how it evolved....

There are some explanations about it but the most widely accepted one is the `Endosymbiotic theory` . According to it mitochondria was once a prokaryortic bacteria which some how entered in our cells and established an endosymbiotic relationship i.e. basically give and take kind of relationship....

Answer 87

Now what are the evidences which support this theory???

You can't just believe what I say ..Can yo ...??

When further investigations wr done...scientists found that the genetic material found inside the mitochondria is very similar to prokaryotic bacteria. This is a strong eveidence which supports our hypothesis.

Answer 88

yes honestly i can't believe it

Answer 89

wow
